<p>A technique for using MRI to detect molecules released during brain injury could lead to quicker emergency diagnoses.</p><p>A new research advance in MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) technology can safely detect molecules called free radicals, which are associated with traumatic brain injury. The technology is a step toward transforming diagnostics by making these markers visible to clinicians for the first time.</p>Thu, 05 Jun 2014 04:00:00 +0000juniper.friedman527521 at http://www.technologyreview.comScientists Use MRI to Glimpse the Dreaming Mind http://www.technologyreview.com/view/513326/scientists-use-mri-to-glimpse-the-dreaming-mind/

<p>By monitoring the path of stem cells in the body, scientists can better explore experimental therapies, and doctors can better tune treatments in patients.</p><p>Giving patients stem cells packaged with silica nanoparticles could help doctors determine the effectiveness of the treatments by revealing where the cells go after they’ve left the injection needle.</p>Wed, 20 Mar 2013 22:00:00 +0000juniper.friedman512651 at http://www.technologyreview.comTiny Sensors Could Give an Atom-Level View of Proteinshttp://www.technologyreview.com/news/510476/tiny-sensors-could-give-an-atom-level-view-of-proteins/
<p>The advance could help researchers better understand the role of proteins in disease.</p><p>Two reports published online in <em>Science</em> on Thursday open up the possibility that researchers may be able to determine the structure of individual proteins in living cells. Although the work is still in early stages, the potential is that researchers could get a better handle on the role of proteins in disease.</p>Fri, 01 Feb 2013 05:00:00 +0000juniper.friedman510476 at http://www.technologyreview.com
